You might be getting an un-excludable ad on your website home page when using auto ads, right after your header — Which you won’t need to be there at all costs.
So, you went to your AdSense account — then the Excluded areas with the idea of removing it. But, luck is not with you. There is no sign to exclude that ad. It just doesn’t show.
Now what?
If you have faced this problem, this article is for you.
The not displaying of certain places to be removed or excluded from showing ads in Google AdSense can happen due to several identified reasons. The most probable reasons are,
- Misplacement of the ads code.
- Potential AdSense bug.
Let us discuss them in detail.
Wrong placement of the ad code
It could be due to the wrong placement of the ad code on your website. The auto ad code should be between the head tags. Make sure you have done it right.

Maybe you have placed it between the body tags or after the </head> tag which indicates the end of the head tag. According to Google ads product experts, Some glitches or bugs could happen when the code is placed in the wrong location.
So, double-check it. Remember, usually it takes around 1–2 hours to see the changes done in AdSense settings.
AdSense Bug
Bugs can happen no matter how professional or big the company is. If you have done the first method, and waited some hours, but the result is still the same that could be due to a bug.
But don’t get disappointed. You have a better choice to go with — which obviously has more potential in profit making.
